Chapter 78 Demon Hunting Ceremony

Dahu reached the sixth level of Qi Refining almost a year ago, but he was unlucky and missed the demon hunting ceremony by a few days. He could not become a demon hunter, so he could not go up the mountain to hunt demons.

Shuanghu and Xiaohu have similar qualifications. Although they are playful, they usually practice hard, so within a year, they have successively broken through and reached the sixth level of Qi refining.

The demon hunting ceremony was held in front of the ancestral hall. The Dahu trio and some other monks who had just reached the sixth level of Qi refining participated in the demon hunting ceremony under the auspices of some respected elders.

The ritual of hunting demons is rather complicated. First, you have to burn incense and worship the heaven and earth. After that, he wiped out the blood, cut his palm with a knife, dropped the blood into the wine, and drank together.

The elder said something, but Mo Hua was far away and couldn't hear it very clearly. He only heard a general outline here and there.

This means that although they are not related by blood, they are both monster hunters, but they share a blood-based covenant. They drink the same wine and support each other. The blood flows together and the strength comes from the same place.

Monsters are many times more powerful than monks. If we don't work together, we will not be able to survive as a monster hunter. We will easily lose our lives and become prey for monsters.

After the bloodshed, the newly promoted demon hunters were handed out demon hunting orders by their elders.

The Demon Hunting Order is said to be made from the bones of special monsters. It is only the size of a baby's fist and is pale white in color.

Every monk who becomes a demon hunter will be assigned a demon hunting order. Every time a monster is killed, there will be a trace of bloody cracks on the monster hunting order. The more monsters are hunted, the more obvious the cracks will be.

The cracked demon hunting order can be regarded as the meritorious service of the demon hunter.

Each of Dahu and the three men got a demon hunting order, dripped it with blood, and hung it around their necks.

The blood-stained demon hunting order will accompany the demon hunter throughout his life. Some demon hunters even cherish the demon hunting order as dear as their lives. Even if they lose their lives, they would not lose the demon hunting order. Losing the Demon Hunting Order is equivalent to losing the past and achievements of demon hunting, and it is also equivalent to losing the life of a demon hunter.

After all the blood and the demon hunting orders were distributed, the demon hunting ceremony was over.

Dahu and the other three looked nervous the whole time, and then they relaxed.

They wore new Taoist robes and rattan armor, and held brand-new simple knives in their hands.

The Taoist robes are made of ordinary clothing materials. Although they are cheap, they are still strong. The rattan armor and the plain sword are spiritual weapons. The rattan armor can protect the heart, and the plain sword is used to hunt monsters. It is the most common spiritual weapon among monster hunters.

Uncle Meng was not rich to begin with. He basically spent all his savings to buy a complete set for the three of them. From now on, they will rely on these spiritual weapons to support themselves.

Mo Hua and Dahu walked around the street, but seeing that they were a little uninterested, they worriedly said:

"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Several people came to a small stone bridge and sat on the edge of the bridge across the guardrail, watching the gurgling water blending with the lights in the distance.

Shuanghu said: "I saw my mother crying secretly last night."

Xiaohu said: "I saw it too. I guess she feels sorry for the spirit stones. She has used up all the spirit stones at home, but she saved them bit by bit."

"Not only that, but I also borrowed some. I saw my dad borrowed it from the uncles of the demon hunting team, including Uncle Mo." Dahu said, and then asked Mo Hua: "Your family is not in a hurry to use spiritual stones."

"Don't worry, we still have a restaurant at home, so we won't be short of it for the time being." Mo Hua comforted.

"That's good." Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, but the three of them were still listless.

They were just children a day ago, and after the Demon Hunting Ceremony, they would begin to endure the hardships of monk life. There are some things that I had not experienced deeply before. Now that the responsibility falls on my shoulders, I realize that life is not easy.

"You don't have to be so depressed. This is actually a good thing." Mo Hua said.

Dahu and the three of them looked at Mo Hua.

"Before, only Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng could earn spiritual stones, and you could only spend them. Now that you are demon hunters, you can hunt monsters and earn spiritual stones. Aunt Meng's burden will be lighter, and your life will be lighter." That'll be better. After you pay off your debt and earn more spiritual stones, Aunt Meng can buy a lot of good things." Mo Hua said.

The three people's eyes lit up.

Shuanghu scratched his head and said: "But, can we earn spiritual stones? I heard from my father that most novice demon hunters can only watch and learn, and they can't get any spiritual stones."

"Aren't you quite good at fighting?"

"yes."

"You should think of hunting monsters as fighting. You used to fight people, but now you fight monsters."

"But... there is a difference between hunting monsters and fighting." Xiaohu hesitated.

"Then follow the uncles in the demon hunting team and learn more. Nothing is achieved overnight. The faster you learn, the sooner you can help, the sooner you can get the spiritual stones. In this way, Uncle Meng and Meng The aunt will be happy."

Mo Hua felt relieved, and the three children cheered up.

"However," Dahu said hesitantly, "if we go hunting monsters, we won't be able to come and play with you often."

"And I probably won't be able to play with you anymore..." Xiaohu also said silently.

After saying that, the three of them looked disappointed again.

"It's okay. In a year or two, I might be at the sixth stage of Qi refining. By then I will also become a demon hunter and I can go up the mountain with you." Mo Hua said.

"Yes, yes!" Xiaohu said happily.

"What's right?" Shuanghu gave Xiaohu a roll of his eyes, and then looked at Mo Hua with a little worry, "You're not in good health, and you're not a physical practitioner. Being a demon hunter is very dangerous, and Uncle Mo won't agree to it. Yes. You should be a formation master. You have a high status, earn a lot of spiritual stones, and don’t have to fight."

Dahu nodded quickly, "It's good to be a formation master!"

Xiaohu also echoed, "Well, it's good to be an array master!"

"Okay, then I will consider being a formation master first. If there is another opportunity, or I can do physical training, I will consider being a demon hunter." Mo Hua said.

But he thought about it and felt that he really didn't have the talent to be a demon hunter. He was weak and the skills he learned were more spiritual. If he really became a demon hunter, the monster would get close and bite him a few times, and he would probably be dead...

Mo Hua felt a little regretful. He still yearned for the physical training cultivators who punched hard and made big moves. They were brave and unrestrained.

It's a pity that he was born weak and didn't have this opportunity.

Mo Hua patted his waist bag, "Today I will treat you to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Liu Ji on the street, as a practice for you."

When they heard that there was food, the three of them were refreshed.

"But it's not good that you have always been the one to treat." Shuang Hu said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay. When you become a famous demon hunter, kill many demon beasts, and earn a lot of spirit stones, you can treat me to delicious food!"

When the three heard this, they immediately felt heroic and nodded in unison: "Okay!"

The worries just now were swept away, and the group walked towards the pastry shop with high spirits.

After eating the pastries, it was getting late, so they had to go home.

Before leaving, Da Hu reminded Mo Hua: "Be careful when we go up the mountain. If someone bullies you, be sure to tell us and we will come back to help you fight."

Mo Hua was moved and smiled: "Okay, it's settled!"
